When Ray Emery's season in Russia ended, I knew his play would lead to a shot at NHL redemption. I also knew that, regardless of his talent and ability, Emery would no doubt experience a set of mental highs and lows that could have very negative results. When October arrived, I was surprised that Flyers management had so much confidence in his ability, as they all but handed Emery the starting job without him having to prove much of anything. To me, actions speak louder than words, especially for someone in his situation.
Sure, Emery silenced even his toughest critics with some excellent play in October, but it was very early in a very long season. To me, part of the problem was that the Flyers didn't give themselves any real buffer zone or backup plan. Nothing against Brian Boucher, but I could think of maybe five or six other goalies available at the time that could be pushing Emery harder for minutes. Now through 24 games for the Flyers, Emery has started 20 of them.
Nevertheless, things have worked out well so far. Emery has been consistent in his approach to handling the responsibility of being an NHL starter, both on and off the ice. Everything was fine and dandy during a five-game winning streak that stretched through the middle of November, until they headed west on a three-game road trip. All of a sudden, without warning, Emery's game took a nose dive.
I was scouting the Avs/Flyers game last Monday with extreme interest, as it was my first time seeing Emery's entire pre-game routine in real life. This routine was extremely over-active for a big goalie. It included a lot of foot and leg movement while standing in the slot during the national anthem, combined with an extravagant ritual that took place as soon as the singing ended. He immediately skated to the net and placed his head in the goal right beneath the crossbar. He held there for a good 4-5 seconds, then came back to life, put his helmet on and proceeded to hit the crossbar with his glove before the puck dropped. More than anything, it was a razzle-dazzle routine to fire him up.
From the first shot on goal, Emery's hands were the source of his struggle. They were over-active, forcing him to mishandle shots up high. He over-reacted badly on a simple Paul Stastny wrist shot to his glove side, a player who was struggling to score. He had a lot of excess footwork during simple tracking plays in his zone and he never seemed to settle into a rhythm. The puck control problems continued until Emery was pulled after allowing four goals.
Every Tuesday on The Goalie Guild, we post an article by Shaun Smith from Absolute Mental Training. Now from someone who has provided sound goalie advice for years, let me be the first to tell you that his articles are pure gold. Not only are they resourceful for goalies of all ages, but also for any fantasy manager that will go beyond the norm to improve their goaltending decisions. Simply put, if you are reading this, you should be reading them.
As soon as I saw last Tuesday's article about work ethic and saw the term Optimal Arousal Level, I nearly shouted out Emery's name. A few minutes later, I rabidly e-mailed Shaun to get his thoughts on Emery's struggles in the 5-4 loss to Colorado. I was not surprised at all with what he said.
"I did watch the highlights and Emery was definitely not in his optimal arousal level," he wrote. "The goals that Emery let in were brutal. Even some of the saves he was making were made to look harder because he was over-playing the puck and looked like he was trying to block too much."
As you can tell, both of us know that Emery is a goalie with plenty of talent and solid technique, but mentally struggles in so many areas that it severely affects his fantasy value. It could be things like his work ethic, his lack of dedication to practicing like he plays, or his overall focus. Does he prepare like most mentally sound goaltenders do? It sure didn't show when he was falling from grace in Ottawa.
Emery is struggling with his optimal arousal level right now and regardless of the reason for it happening, he's starting to lose value in the fantasy realm. He also has one foot deeper in the grave by working with the same type of goalie coach that Brian Elliott had before his game got refined. The positioning that Emery has displayed over the course of the season is a little bit more of a blocking style, not the free-flowing hybrid style that dominates the position today. But that's another article for another time, my dear goalie aficionados.
When it comes to your fantasy goalies, realize there's a big difference between a pre-game routine that allows a goalie to reach a comfort zone and a routine that is just a bunch of random movements that end up exceeding an optimal arousal level. Do you know what your goalie's optimal arousal level looks like? Can you tell if he's "in the zone" or a step behind a lot of plays? Does he react to plays with composure, or is he wildly attacking the puck, with excessive movement and bad rebound control?
Read Shaun's article so that you too can understand what Optimal Arousal Level looks and feels like from a goalie's point of view. I promise, if you watch your goalies close enough, you'll be able to discern the signs and symptoms just like any goalie scout - and then benefit from knowing whether or not your goalie is playing at his best or just playing well enough to scrape by with some wins.
I will be the first to come out and say I'm eating my words regarding J-S Giguere. Not that I thought he was incapable of winning games, but the last week was beyond impressive. He went 3-0-1 in his last four starts and only allowed seven goals. He did not allow a power play goal against and also has one awesome shutout. His shot totals have dropped each game, going from 43 to 30 to 28 to 26, so he's not over-worked mentally or physically either.
The most impressive aspect was Giguere's ability to clear out the drama regarding his statements to the press, hit the refresh button and play poised, focused hockey. It's a sign of remarkable mental toughness and part of what makes him such a strong competitor. I don't see anything different technically speaking, other than he's playing with a lot of confidence now and making the big saves…and a lot of them.
From a fantasy perspective, this may seem like a really tough consideration for many managers. Giguere is just hanging out there like a juicy grape on the vine of good and evil. Will he keep this play up and re-claim the starting role or will he come back down to earth and give way to Jonas Hiller once again? To be honest, that's not the most pertinent question right now. What you want to know is exactly HOW LONG Giguere's great play will last.
I would say you can depend on Giguere for another week. Don't be afraid to pluck him up, as there's very little risk involved considering he hasn't been on many managers' rosters up until last week. You probably already have two or three quality goalies, so why not add another and let it ride for a week? If you don't have faith in his consistency (I personally don't) then try trading him while his value is high. Some of you might sign him and use him wisely, while others might sign him just to package in a trade. Regardless of your motive, he's definitely worth picking up.
Most of you know that I'm not a stats guy, but I thought it would be interesting to look at goalies that have played 20+ games and how they have performed in their last five games. So here are the top 12 goalies in minutes played, their total shots against for the whole season and their records over the last five games.
Anderson 1,506 813 1-2-2 | 19 GA
Quick 1,493 663 2-3-0 | 13 GA
Nabokov 1,479 734 4-1-0 | 15 GA
Bryzgalov 1,360 596 3-2-0 | 12 GA
Brodeur 1,318 603 3-1-1 | 7 GA
Kiprusoff 1,311 667 3-1-1 | 12 GA
Fleury 1,277 554 4-1-0 | 13 GA
Lundqvist 1,255 634 2-3-0 | 15 GA
Backstrom 1,253 601 2-1-2 | 13 GA
Vokoun 1,205 700 2-1-2 | 13 GA
Miller 1,182 565 2-2-1 | 12 GA
Emery 1,177 557 1-3-0 | 18 GA
The noticeable correlation here is that the veteran workhorses have the better numbers. Anderson, Quick and Emery are struggling while Brodeur, Nabokov (we explained his durability last week, but he also allowed three goals against in each of the last five games) and Kiprusoff, are flourishing. Bryzgalov benefits from a much lower shots against ratio thanks to Dave Tippett's system and Fleury's record looks nice thanks to a lot of offensive support.
Although stats will never really show a correlation between the grid above and the same thing for goalies that have played 10-15 games, it's still interesting to think about. One thing's for sure, it's never good to be atop the shots against category as well as minutes played. Remember last week when I said that if Anderson played three of four games, it was one too many? Well, he played all four of them, including back-to-back games against Minnesota.
Once again, the Avalanche plays four games this week, all of which are on the road. How many games will Anderson play this time around and what will his numbers look like when the road trip is over?

Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for the Washington Post who is regarded as an important intellectual trailblazer of neoconservative discourse in the United States. A former psychiatrist, Krauthammer has been a writer and pundit since the early 1980s, when he joined the New Republic. Krauthammer has also written for Time magazine, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Foreign Affairs, and the National Interest, among other journals and media outlets.[1]
A frequent and controversial proponent of U.S. military intervention abroad, Krauthammer has supported a number of neoconservative-led initiatives that champion hawkish "pro-Israel" policies and militarist U.S. defense postures. He participated in the advocacy efforts of the Project for the New American Century, has served as an adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and has been a frequent participant in the activities of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Krauthammer's writings have won numerous awards, particularly from right-wing organizations. A winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary, Krauthammer was also the first ever recipient of the conservative Bradley Foundation's Bradley Prize in 2004.[2] That same year, he received the American Enterprise Institute's 2004 Irving Kristol Award.[3] In 2009, the conservative National Review called him "one of America's most important opinion journalists for about 25 years now."[4]
A leading public champion of the "war on terror," Krauthammer has used his perch at the Washington Post to attack public leaders he considers soft on terrorism or hostile to Israel.
Despite his long affiliation with the neoconservative brand, Krauthammer has rejected the neoconservative label as an "anti-Semitic" smear. "It is an epithet. It is nothing more," he told the National Review's Rich Lowry in a January 2013 interview. "It once had a meaning, when Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz sort of changed their political ideology and made a great case for it in the '70s. Today it's usually meant as a silent synonym for 'Jewish conservative.' … I would ask you whenever you hear the word [to] challenge the person to describe and explain to you what a neocon is. And I guarantee you they will have no answer."[5]
At least one conservative commentator disagreed. "On brief inspection, the doctor's tendentious tantrum borders on hilarity," wrote Christopher Manion. "Many neocons wear the label proudly. After Obama's illegal war on Libya (another disastrous failure, but I digress), Bill Kristol cheered, and proudly baptized Obama as a 'born again neocon.' Did Mr. Kristol's use of that sly 'epithet' intend to brand Obama as a 'Jewish conservative,' I wonder?"[6]
In October 2012, prior to Krauthammer's comments, Daily Beast blogger Ali Gharib disputed what he called "the conflation of neoconservativism and Jewishness." Although a handful of "right-wing Jewish thinkers" helped to shape the movement, Gharib wrote, neoconservativism is not a "Jewish political movement; rather, it's an American one" closely "identified with using military might to pursue interests." Gharib pointed to prominent non-Jewish neoconservatives like the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan and former ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, as well as Jewish conservatives like Dov Zakheim who understand "the limits of U.S. power," to illustrate his point. Gharib concluded that the association of neoconservativism with Jewishness was often invoked by right-wing hawks to blame "any careful look at neoconservatives, or even their policy positions, on anti-Semitism."[7]
The Unipolar Moment and Its Legacy
His recent dislike for the term notwithstanding, Krauthammer has arguably been one of neoconservatism's more important trend setters since the end of the Cold War. In its bio of Krauthammer, the Washington Post Writers Group credits the columnist with a number of accomplishments. "For three decades, [Krauthammer's] influential writings have helped frame the very shape of American foreign policy," it claimed. "He coined and developed The Reagan Doctrine (Time, April 1985), defined the structure of the post-Cold War world in 'The Unipolar Moment' (Foreign Affairs, Winter 1990/1991), and outlined the principles of post-9/11 American foreign policy in his much-debated Irving Kristol Lecture, Democratic Realism (AEI Press, March 2004)."[8]
Arguably, it was Krauthammer's 1990 Foreign Affairs article "The Unipolar Moment" that has had the most lasting—and, some would argue, most damaging—impact. Written as the Cold War was winding down and the neoconservative movement was in disarray as a result of the loss of its core enemy (the Soviet Union), the article came to serve as the basis for a new neoconservative agenda in the 1990s, one that ultimately culminated in the Iraq War and the George W. Bush administration's "war on terror."
The article argued that the United States should seize its position as the top dog in the international order to impose its priorities on the world. Krauthammer wrote that if "America wants stability, it will have to create it." The alternative to "such a robust and difficult interventionism," he argued, is chaos. The main new U.S. opponents, opined Krauthammer, included "small aggressive states armed with weapons of mass destruction and possessing the means to deliver them." Such states "will constitute the greatest single threat to world security for the rest of our lives."[9]
Earlier, in a 1989 article for the Irving Kristol-founded National Interest titled "Universal Dominion: Toward a Unipolar World," Krauthammer had spelled out his vision for the larger, overarching aim of a post-Cold War agenda: To aggressively advance democracy across the globe as the "touchtone of a new ideological American foreign policy."[10]
After the onset of the "war on terror" following 9/11, both these agenda items were heavily promoted by a formidable group of neoconservative ideologues organized around the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Although terrorism and "Islamo-fascism" were not core elements of neoconservative rhetoric pre-9/11, the political faction quickly adapted these issues to fit Krauthammer's larger agenda: imposing democracy globally.
This agenda was clearly spelled out in a series of open letters published by PNAC, including its September 20, 2001 letter to President George W. Bush, which Krauthammer signed along with the likes of Eliot Cohen, Francis Fukuyama, Robert Kagan, Richard Perle, William Kristol, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and a host of other neoconservative, social conservative, and Religious Right figures.[11]
The letter endorsed what PNAC called Bush's "admirable commitment to 'lead the world to victory' in the war against terrorism." Calling for the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden, the isolation of the Palestinian Authority, and the targeting of Hezbollah and its supporters in Syria, the PNAC letter also argued that "even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. Failure to undertake such an effort will constitute an early and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international terrorism." It also emphasized the need to support democracies in the region as part of the war on terror, highlighting Israel as friend to be protected: "Israel has been and remains America's staunchest ally against international terrorism, especially in the Middle East. The United States should fully support our fellow democracy in its fight against terrorism."[12]
On Obama
Krauthammer has been a staunch critic of the Obama administration on foreign and domestic policy alike. He has, however, defended Obama's use of armed drones to assassinate alleged al-Qaeda members overseas. "Osama bin Laden issued his fatwa declaring war on the United States in 1996; we reciprocated three days after 9/11 with Congress's Authorization for Use of Military Force — against al-Qaeda and those who harbor and abet it," he wrote in February 2013. "Its members are legitimate targets, day or night, awake or asleep."[13]
Krauthammer made no exception for American citizens, whom he asserted "[forfeit] the privileges of citizenship and the protections of the Constitution" if they take up arms against the United States. In response to critics concerned about the global scope of the drone war, Krauthammer added, "So what? It's the jihadists who decided to make the world a battlefield and to wage war in perpetuity. Until they abandon the field, what choice do we have but to carry the fight to them?" Krauthammer made no distinction between alleged members of al-Qaeda and the civilian inhabitants of the countries where the group is thought to operate.[14]
Krauthammer has been particularly emphatic about his dislike for the Obama administration's Middle East policies, accusing the president of selling out Israel and pandering to terrorists. Discussing Obama's widely noted May 2011 speech on Mideast policy in which he reaffirmed the long-standing U.S. position that Israeli-Palestinian negotiations must begin with Israel's 1967 borders, Krauthammer wrote, "Note how Obama has undermined Israel's negotiating position. He is demanding that Israel go into peace talks having already forfeited its claim to the territory won in the '67 war—its only bargaining chip. Remember: That '67 line runs right through Jerusalem. Thus the starting point of negotiations would be that the Western Wall and even Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter are Palestinian—alien territory for which Israel must now bargain."[15]
Quoting Obama's statement that the "status quo is unsustainable and Israel too must act boldly to advance a lasting peace," Krauthammer rejoined: "Israel too? Exactly what bold steps for peace have the Palestinians taken?"[16]
Responding to the article, blogger Matt Duss wrote, "'Exactly what bold steps for peace have the Palestinians taken?' Krauthammer asks. Well, for starters, how about relinquishing claims to 78% of Palestine? This is precisely what they did in 1993 when, in an exchange of letters between Yassir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) formally recognized 'the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security,' and accepted United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, which call upon Israel to withdraw from territories occupied in 1967 and [for] an end to the state of belligerency. This was, as Hussein Ibish noted recently, 'The mother of all compromises.' And it is a compromise that is being reaffirmed by the Palestinians seeking international recognition for a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders."[17]
Krauthammer has also continued to promote expansive U.S. military engagement aboard, sometimes to the dismay of his Post colleagues. After Krauthammer called for U.S. intervention in Libya in early March 2011, Anne Applebaum—an unrepentant supporter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq—excoriated the columnist. On the Post's PostPartisan blog she wrote, "In response to Charles Krauthammer's blog post, let me quote, once again, the first sentence of his column of March 4: 'Voices around the world, from Europe to America to Libya, are calling for U.S. intervention to help bring down Moammar Gaddafi.' And let me repeat: This is a fantasy. No voices anywhere, in any part of the world, are calling for U.S. intervention to bring down Moammar Gaddafi. There is no 'strange moral inversion' or 'hypocritical double standard' in the international debate about Libya. There is some discussion of aid and of a no-fly zone—but only as a U.N. or NATO action, only as a last resort, only to prevent genocide (Rwanda is being cited as a precedent) and only if it can be done with as little unilateral 'American' input as possible."[18]
Regarding Krauthammer comparison of Libya and Iraq, Applebaum wrote, "I supported the war in Iraq, I am glad Saddam Hussein is dead and I hope Iraqi democracy succeeds. But, unlike Krauthammer, I do not think that the war has been in any way helpful to the cause of democracy in Libya. On the contrary: It looms like a black shadow over everything Americans do and say in the Arab world."[19]
Iran and the "War on Terror"
Among Krauthammer's key targets has been the Iranian regime, which Krauthammer says views itself "as an instrument of its own brand of Shiite millenarianism—the messianic return of the 'hidden Imam.'" This "millenarianism," he claims, makes Iran immune to nuclear deterrence, implying that it would be willing to sacrifice its existence to take out Israel if it acquired the bomb. In an August 2012 Post op-ed, Krauthammer lambasted "realists" for arguing that "deterrence" is an effective tool when confronting Iran because, as he put it, "It's one thing to live in a state of mutual assured destruction with Stalin or Brezhnev, leaders of a philosophically materialist, historically grounded, deeply here-and-now regime. It's quite another to be in a situation of mutual destruction with apocalyptic clerics who believe in the imminent advent of the Mahdi, the supremacy of the afterlife and holy war as the ultimate avenue to achieving it."[20]
Ignoring the conclusions of the U.S. intelligence community that there was no indication that Iran had a nuclear weapons program—and that any attack on Iran would do little more than encourage Iran to build a weapon if it hadn't decided to already—Krauthammer defended a potential preemptive strike by Israel against Iran's nuclear installations. He wrote: "The confident belief that [Iran's mullahs] are like the Soviets is a fantasy. That's why Israel is contemplating a preemptive strike. Israel refuses to trust its very existence to the convenient theories of comfortable analysts living 6,000 miles from its Ground Zero."[21]
Krauthammer proved a vigorous advocate for bringing the "war on terror" to Iran even in the latter years of the Bush administration, when public frustration over Iraq was at a high point.
In a September 2006 Washington Post op-ed, for example, Krauthammer argued that it was necessary "to begin looking now with unflinching honesty at the military option" vis-à-vis Iran. He wrote: "In the region, Persian Iran will immediately become the hegemonic power in the Arab Middle East. Today it is deterred from overt aggression against its neighbors by the threat of conventional retaliation. Against a nuclear Iran, such deterrence becomes far less credible. As its weak, non-nuclear Persian Gulf neighbors accommodate to it, jihadist Iran will gain control of the most strategic region on the globe. Then there is the larger danger of permitting nuclear weapons to be acquired by religious fanatics seized with an eschatological belief in the imminent apocalypse and in their own divine duty to hasten the End of Days. The mullahs are infinitely more likely to use these weapons than anyone in the history of the nuclear age. Every city in the civilized world will live under the specter of instant annihilation delivered either by missile or by terrorist."[22]
Earlier, during the summer 2006 military confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, Krauthammer argued that Hezbollah was the "leading edge of an aggressive, nuclear-hungry Iran." He concluded: "America finds itself at war with radical Islam, a two-churched monster: Sunni al-Qaida is now being challenged by Shiite Iran for primacy in its epic confrontation with the infidel West. With al-Qaida in decline, Iran is on the march. It is intervening through proxies throughout the Arab world—Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in Iraq—to subvert modernizing, Western-oriented Arab governments and bring these territories under Iranian hegemony. Its nuclear ambitions would secure these advances, give it an overwhelming preponderance of power over the Arabs and an absolute deterrent against serious counteractions by the United States, Israel, or any other rival."[23]
Krauthammer's continued support for an aggressive, unilateral U.S. foreign policy despite the disastrous outcome of the invasion of Iraq helped spur a growing divide within neocon circles. Former neocon supporter Francis Fukuyama targeted Krauthammer for particular derision, arguing that the columnist had become "strangely disconnected from reality." In a much quoted essay called "The Neoconservative Moment"—with the title's not-so-subtle jab at Krauthammer's defining work—Fukuyama argued that neoconservatives like Krauthammer had lost touch with new "empirical facts" that had emerged in Iraq that demanded a dramatic change of course in U.S. foreign policy. These new facts, according to Fukuyama, included: "the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the virulent and steadily mounting anti-Americanism throughout the Middle East, the growing insurgency in Iraq, the fact that no strong democratic leadership had emerged there, the enormous financial and growing human cost of the war, the failure to leverage the war to make progress on the Israeli-Palestinian front, and the fact that America's fellow democratic allies had by and large failed to fall in line and legitimate American actions ex post."[24]
He added: "The failure to step up to these facts is dangerous precisely to the neo-neoconservative position that Krauthammer has been seeking to define and justify. As the war in Iraq turns from triumphant liberation to grinding insurgency, other voices—either traditional realists like Brent Scowcroft, nationalist-isolationists like Patrick Buchanan, or liberal internationalists like John Kerry—will step forward as authoritative voices and will have far more influence in defining American post-Iraq War foreign policy. The poorly executed nation-building strategy in Iraq will poison the well for future such exercises, undercutting domestic political support for a generous and visionary internationalism, just as Vietnam did."[25]
Krauthammer has frequently used his columns to support beleaguered neoconservative figures. In an August 2003 Post column, for example, Krauthammer defended the controversial presidential nomination of Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute of Peace, which was heavily criticized by members of Congress and many observers because of Pipes' hardline stance on the Middle East and controversial take on Islam. For Krauthammer, however, the "attack on Pipes" was nothing but "another symptom of the absurd political correctness surrounding Islamic radicalism." He continued: "We are all supposed to pretend that we have equal suspicions of terrorist intent and thus must give equal scrutiny to a 70-year-old Irish nun, a 50-year-old Jewish seminarian, and a 30-year-old man from Saudi Arabia. Your daughter is on that plane: To whom do you want the security guards to give their attention? President Bush is considering bypassing the Senate and giving Pipes a recess appointment while Congress is out of town. For Bush, this would be an act of characteristic principle and courage. The problem, however, is that such an act makes the appointment look furtive. Worse, it lets the McCarthyites off too easy."[26]
After I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, an influential neoconservative and former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted in early March 2007 of perjury and other charges related to the PlameGate affair, Krauthammer expressed disbelief in the jury's judgment. Libby had been deeply involved in the effort to criticize CIA agent Valerie Plame's husband Joe Wilson, who was critical of the Bush administration's push toward invading Iraq. Krauthammer wrote: "Scooter Libby has just been convicted of four felonies that could theoretically give him 25 years in jail for ... what? Misstating when he first heard a certain piece of information, namely the identity of Joe Wilson's wife. Think about that. Can you remember when you first heard the name Joe Wilson or Valerie Plame? Okay, so it is not a preoccupation of yours. But it was a preoccupation of many Washington journalists and government officials called to testify at the Libby trial, and their memories were all over the lot. Former presidential press secretary Ari Fleischer testified under oath that he had not told Post reporter Walter Pincus about Mrs. Wilson. Pincus testified under oath that Fleischer definitely had. Obviously, one is not telling the truth. But there is no reason to believe that either one is deliberately lying. Pincus and Fleischer are as fallible as any of us. They spend their days receiving and giving information. They can't possibly be expected to remember not only every piece but precisely when they received every piece. Should Scooter Libby?"[27]
Early Career
Like many writers associated with neoconservatism, Krauthammer's politics originally tended toward liberalism and the Democratic Party. A biography on the website of the Harry Walker Agency, with which Krauthammer is affiliated, describes several aspects of Krauthammer's early profession and politics. "In 1978, he quit psychiatry and came to Washington to serve as a science adviser in the Carter administration and, later, speechwriter to Vice President Walter Mondale. In 1981, he joined the staff of the New Republic where he was an essayist and editor from 1981-1988. In the mid-eighties he began writing a weekly syndicated column for the Washington Post, which now appears in more than 100 newspapers, and a monthly essay for Time magazine. In his first full year as a syndicated columnist, he won the Pulitzer Prize (Distinguished Commentary, 1987). His New Republic essays won the highest award in magazine writing, the National Magazine Award for Essays and Criticism (1984). His essays have appeared in dozens of anthologies on subjects ranging from nuclear deterrence to gay marriage. A collection of his essays and columns, Cutting Edges, was published in 1985 (Random House)."[28]

This is a fingernail clipper befitting a lumberjack or NFL lineman. Made of Japanese stainless steel and featuring a full-body rubber bumper for improved grip, it takes all the daintiness out of the mandatory trimming ritual.
Got this for the husband, as his nails are thick and, well... Gnarly. This baby cut through both toenails and fingernails with ease. I do think that the clippers work best on toes without the guard, as it doesn't allow you to cut from all angles with the guard attached. Also, when you are cleaning the clippings out of the guard, do it over the trash can, as it will spill everywhere. Overall, very pleased with the sharpness. Lost a star because the grip inhibits toenail clipping.
The clippers themselves are really high quality, but the bumper seriously impedes your ability to clip. Luckily it's removable, but I'd rather have a nail file attached to the clippers than have the bumper.
It's not the cutest design from tweezerman, but it's strong and sturdy. Works for both hands and feet which is good too!
Very strong and sturdy, but the clip 'storage' is very small, and due to the shape of the product, it can be hard to maneuver. Overall, it's good, just not worth $20.
While the clippers are some of the sharpest I have ever used, the shape is slightly difficult to get all the way around the nail. The functionality in clipping itself is rather nice however the "trap" or clipping compartment is small and can only hold about a hand worth of clippings before needing to be emptied.
Because of the shape of these clippers it is difficult to move around the nail. They are nice and sharp though.

ELGIN — Saturday in downtown Elgin will be an opportune time and place to start finding one's holiday spirit when the city is filled with an entire day of seasonal fun.
To start the day's festivities, the city's ice rink at Civic Plaza will offer free skate hire all day (the rink is open from noon to 9 p.m.). Between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., skaters and onlookers will be treated to live musical accompaniment from the sound of soaring trumpets, robust trombones, wailing saxophones and swinging rhythm section sounds of the Jazz Consortium Big Band playing all the holiday favorites.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association will host its 14th annual Window Wonderland event from noon to 5 p.m. This year, the event will include Santa's real live reindeer at the civic parking lot at Highland and Douglas avenues, chestnut roasting in front of the Tower Building, horse-drawn carriage rides and a live nativity scene. Kids are also challenged to take part in the new "Holiday Treasure Hunt Passport Puzzle" and could win a grand prize of a $100 Visa gift card.
At 4 and 5:30 p.m., prepare to be whisked away on a free artistic tour showcasing the "Spirit of the Holidays" presented by Elgin Ties. The tour will take visitors through seven stations with dance, visual art and drama all focused on the holiday season. Artists will be located in and around the Hemmens Cultural Center.
No holiday festival would be complete without the traditional tree lighting, and this year Mayor Dave Kaptain will be "flicking the switch" at 5 p.m. to the sounds of the Elgin Children's Chorus. The city of Elgin is even reporting rumors that Santa Claus himself is planning to drop in for the show.
Visitors can round off the day with a laugh at the Hemmens with GreenRoom's family-friendly comedy improv show. The show includes competing improv teams, improvised songs, audience participation and even a live band. Tickets are available at www.hemmens.org .
Elgin: Police Department to host Winter Open House
The Elgin Police Department will host its annual Winter Open House from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the police station, 151 Douglas Ave. While warming up with hot chocolate and cider, residents and guests can learn about the department's rich history, meet a police K9 dog, participate in fun kids' activities, and enjoy on-the-hour facility tours.
At 12:30 p.m., join the department in celebrating the unveiling of a replicated original horse-drawn turn-of-the-century patrol wagon. This wagon is the culmination of a yearlong project undertaken by the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association Museum Committee and will become the cornerstone of the Elgin Police Museum, located in the lobby of the police department.
Algonquin: Rock on the Fox Holiday Storytime
The Algonquin Area Public Library District will be at Riverfront Park in Algonquin Saturday for Holiday Rock on the Fox with stories, books and merriment.

Come back Sunday and see if your selection wins. This is a part of the Dickens in Dundee festival.
There will be 22 trees decorated by local schools and Scout groups on display. See the prize-winning trees demonstrating beauty, creativity and holiday spirit. You'll see trees that are decorated in patriotic colors for our troops, recycled material, wildlife decorations for our feathered friends, and many traditionally decorated trees.

I could rant about the Eagles and Donovan McNabb going down for the year.
I could whine incessantly about the bad luck. And wonder aloud what I and the rest of Philly sports fans have done to deserve such torture.
I could pour my tears on to the page and let them flow to share my depression.
But for today, I am putting aside my typical Philly pessimism. I know, it's shocking.
Why you ask?
It's very simple.
Ryan Howard.
Today, I congratulate Ryan Howard.
Not just for winning the much-deserved MVP award. That is an exceptional honor and his performance on the field -- 58 homers, Home Run Derby champ, carrying the Phils almost solely on his own to the brink of the playoffs -- made him a clear choice for the award.
Not just because he turned 27 yesterday. (Happy Birthday, Ryan.)
But because Ryan Howard did the almost unthinkable, unbelievable today.
He made a Philly sports fan proud. And he made a Philly sports fan, in the midst of a suffocating Eagles depression, smile.
For the few minutes today that he spoke at the press conference to ring him in as MVP, I found myself swept up the unfettered happiness. It was as if all that has gone wrong for the Phillies and the Eagles and all that Philly sports fans have suffered through disappeared into Ryan Howard's dimples as he flashed his billion-dollar grin.
It was refreshing. I found myself awestruck at his genuine excitement at being bestowed with such an honor. With his parents and brother at his side, Ryan Howard displayed the love of the sport he plays and showed that he remembered how incredible it is that he has grown up to play baseball for a living. That he realized, at least for today, that he is living his dream was evident in the sparkle in his eye as he spoke.
He hasn't yet been damaged by ego or money. He hasn't yet grown cynical.
And when Ryan Howard's parents and brother were called to stand-up and be recognized for raising this happy kid in a slugger's body, he leaned over and pointed out his brother, noting that he was indeed the smallest in his family. And so, in one jest -- and without bitterness or cynicism -- he dismissed any thoughts that his performance was "enhanced" by some illegal substance.
For one day, Ryan Howard reminded us how grand sports are supposed to be.
So, congratulations Ryan.
You've made us proud.
Not only for your impressive on-field performance that made you more than worthy of the MVP title.
But for remembering to relish it.
Enjoy the honor, you've earned it in so many ways.

Doeden | Sweet strawberry memories: Recipe sparks recollections of a timeless, classic dessertI headed straight to my recipe file when I heard a recent news report that Minnesota strawberries are ripening earlier this year.
I headed straight to my recipe file when I heard a recent news report that Minnesota strawberries are ripening earlier this year. Growers are expecting a sensational strawberry season, with predictions in some parts of the state that picking could begin as early as, well, right now.
My thoughts turned to all of my favorite strawberry desserts. My Auntie Vera's strawberry shortcake has always been a seasonal tradition, mounds of sweet biscuit dough crumbled into a cereal bowl, topped with slices of fresh, sweet strawberries and whole milk or cream.
My taste buds revved up when I thought of the fresh strawberry pie my friend Micky used to treat me with when I lived in Fargo. She'd carefully arrange whole strawberries into a baked pie shell, heaping them up with the largest, most beautiful berries on top. Then she poured a sweet glaze over the berries, made of sugar and cornstarch and a couple of spoonfuls of strawberry-flavored gelatin.
It seems we all have a favorite strawberry dessert that has become a seasonal tradition. This summer there should be an abundance of sweet, ripe, locally grown strawberries, allowing for all of the old favorites as well as some new ones to add to the recipe box.
Strawberries and Cream Chocolate Roll is reminiscent of the old-fashioned jellyroll desserts, pinwheels of light, airy cake rolled up with jelly. This dessert, though, is a cake roll made with a recipe I got from a family friend when I was in high school.
The Ukrainian woman was a fabulous baker and cook. She taught me how to roll up the hot chocolate cake that was baked in a jelly roll pan, using a sugar-coated kitchen towel. The cake was bendable while it was hot. As it cooled in the towel, it took to its new shape, making it very easy to reroll once it was filled. My friend filled her chocolate roll with a coffee-flavored sweetened whipped cream mixture.
Feeling creative, I sweetened some cream cheese and spread it over the cooled cake. I made some strawberry glaze by slightly adapting the recipe used by Micky in her pie.
One (3-ounce) box of strawberry-flavored gelatin will be just enough for three batches of Strawberry Filling.
Strawberries and Cream Chocolate Roll may become a new favorite, maybe even a summer tradition, at your house – no matter which way you're wearing your pants when you make it. Just be sure to use cornstarch rather than baking powder in the Strawberry Filling.

Gay's Fast and Easy Veggie Soup
Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 inch) stalk/branch fresh rosemary
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 medium yellow squash, chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 medium red skin potato, chopped
1 large (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (you can puree the tomatoes if you don't like them chunky)
5 ½ cups water
1 rind of Parmesan cheese (optional)*
1 cup cooked cannellini beans (or one 14 ounce can)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat a large soup pot on medium heat and add oil. Once oil is hot, add onions and rosemary. Sauté until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
2. Add carrot, squash, zucchini, and potato and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes, 5 ½ cups of water, and Parmesan rind if using.
3. Bring soup to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove rosemary stalk before serving.
4. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese or stir in pesto.
*If you buy Parmesan cut from a big wheel, it will have the rind on it that you would normally throw away. Save these in the fridge and use them when simmering the soup. It adds great depth of flavor.

USC's Marqise Lee, Lane Kiffin try their hands at being ice cream men
Hey, it's not just football teams that deserve ice cream and pizza parties. Bands work hard, too. I know that because I used to live a block from my high school, and after we'd finish two-a-days, instead of being able to take a nap and watch SpongeBob or whatever it was I was trying to do, I'd hear Sheryl Crow's "Soak Up The Sun" being played for three straight hours by a bunch of trombones.
The USC marching band is one of the best in the land, so why not do something special for them? That's exactly what Trojans coach Lane Kiffin and wide receiver Marqise Lee did:
A couple of thoughts:
1. Kiffin should drive an ice cream truck while wearing a visor all the time. It suits him.
2. There is no doubt in my mind Lee did this for the free ice cream. And why wouldn't he? Ice cream is delicious.
3. Dr. Arthur C. Bartner has been at USC longer than coach Kiffin has been alive. That guy is a boss.
4. College football is sorely lacking an ice cream truck mascot or ice cream truck tradition. Take a bit of inspiration from the old Twisted Metal video games. Those trucks can be really fearsome and intimidating. Move over Ramblin' Wreck and Boomer Schooner, the Frozen Trojan is coming through.
